Defining attention from an auditory perspective
Attention prioritizes certain information at the expense of other information in ways that are
similar across vision, audition, and other sensory modalities. It influences how—and even …

Unilateral acoustic degradation delays attentional separation of competing speech
Hearing loss is often asymmetric such that hearing thresholds differ substantially between
the two ears. The extreme case of such asymmetric hearing is single-sided deafness. A …

Causal links between parietal alpha activity and spatial auditory attention
Both visual and auditory spatial selective attention result in lateralized alpha (8–14 Hz)
oscillatory power in parietal cortex: alpha increases in the hemisphere ipsilateral to …

Neural attentional-filter mechanisms of listening success in middle-aged and older individuals
Successful listening crucially depends on intact attentional filters that separate relevant from
irrelevant information. Research into their neurobiological implementation has focused on …

EEG correlates of spatial shifts of attention in a dynamic multi-talker speech perception scenario in younger and older adults
Speech perception under “cocktail-party” conditions critically depends on the focusing of
attention toward the talker of interest. In dynamic auditory scenes, changes in talker settings …

[HTML][HTML] Orienting auditory attention in time: Lateralized alpha power reflects spatio-temporal filtering
The deployment of neural alpha (8–12 Hz) lateralization in service of spatial attention is well-
established: Alpha power increases in the cortical hemisphere ipsilateral to the attended …

[HTML][HTML] Spatial alignment between faces and voices improves selective attention to audio-visual speech
JT Fleming, RK Maddox… - The Journal of the …, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
The ability to see a talker's face improves speech intelligibility in noise, provided that the
auditory and visual speech signals are approximately aligned in time. However, the …

Evaluating the Effect of Binaural Auralization on Audiovisual Plausibility and Communication Behavior in Virtual Reality
Spatial audio representations have been shown to positively impact user experience in
traditional, non-immersive communication media. While spatial audio also contributes to …

[HTML][HTML] Neural Mechanisms Related to the Enhanced Auditory Selective Attention Following Neurofeedback Training: Focusing on Cortical Oscillations
Selective attention can be a useful tactic for speech-in-noise (SiN) interpretation as it
strengthens cortical responses to attended sensory inputs while suppressing others. This …

Electromyographic Correlates of Effortful Listening in the Vestigial Auriculomotor System
A Schroeer, FI Corona-Strauss, R Hannemann… - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Recently, electromyographic (EMG) signals of auricular muscles have been shown to be an
indicator of spatial auditory attention in humans, based on a vestigial pinna-orienting …
